Show 7476 Sheley- D 5455 region? A I should like at this point, if it seemed to be suitable, to introduce evidence from the weather bureau, indicating in cold, hard figures that there is that peculiarity there -- THE SPECIAL MASTER: I don't know that it is necessary to go into detail on that. I think you right cite your authority. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Just what government publication or report or document bears on the question you have just been discussing? A There is an isotherm, a line of equal temperature; along that line is supposed to be mean temperature, a line that is used by students of climate, including the government weather bureau. The isotherm, or lines of equal temperature, make a great dip to the north along the Colorado river; in other words, take at Moab, for example, the temperature there is far warmer than its latitude -- than you would expect from its latitude. Why that exists, no one knows; it is a matter of wonder to us, but it does exits. Q What government document do you refer to? A The government document is the Atlas of American Agriculture, issued July 15, 1918; this is the advance sheets. |
